White wasn’t going to start. At least not right away after missing so much time in camp and with the way Marquess Wilson was playing. As physically talented as he may be, White enters the NFL raw and was drafted to a team full of polished receivers. The Bears were going to have packages for White, similar to how the Vikings used Cordarrelle Patterson as a rookie.
The Bears didn’t draft White for 2015. They drafted him for 2016-2026.
In some ways, having Wilson on the field instead of White will be more beneficial to the Bears.
